ESPN has laid off Zach Lowe as the network continues its series of cuts ahead of the end of its fiscal year in September. Lowe’s salary, which exceeded $1 million per year, was a significant factor in ESPN’s decision to let him go.
Lowe had been with ESPN for 12 years, originally joining the network through Grantland, where he made a name for himself as a prominent basketball analyst and commentator.
In addition to Lowe’s departure, ESPN recently faced another major loss with the unexpected retirement of Adrian Wojnarowski from their NBA coverage.
Wojnarowski, known for his breaking news and insider information, has been a vital figure in the sports journalism landscape, and his exit marks another significant shift within ESPN’s basketball reporting team.
The combination of these changes raises questions about the future direction of ESPN’s NBA coverage and how they plan to fill the void left by these influential voices.
